Frequently asked questions
What is Neurofix-XL Injection?
Neurofix-XL Injection is a form of vitamin B12, an essential nutrient that plays a crucial role in the production of red blood cells, maintaining a healthy nervous system, and releasing energy from food. It is also important for the proper functioning of vitamin B11 (folic acid).
Why can’t I get sufficient vitamin B12 in my diet?
Vitamin B12 can be obtained from animal-based food sources such as meat, fish, eggs, and dairy products. However, individuals who follow a vegetarian or vegan diet may be at risk of deficiency as vitamin B12 is not naturally found in plant-based foods like fruits, vegetables, and grains.
What happens if I have vitamin B12 deficiency?
Vitamin B12 deficiency can cause a range of symptoms, including fatigue, weakness, constipation, loss of appetite, weight loss, and megaloblastic anemia (a condition characterized by abnormally large red blood cells). It may also lead to nerve problems such as numbness and tingling in the hands and feet, as well as cognitive issues like problems with balance, depression, confusion, dementia, poor memory, and soreness of the mouth or tongue.
Is Neurofix-XL Injection safe?
Neurofix-XL Injection is generally well-tolerated and considered safe for use. However, rare side effects may occur, including nausea, diarrhea, anorexia, and rash. If a rash develops, discontinue use of the medication immediately and consult a healthcare professional.
How should Neurofix-XL Injection be given?
Neurofix-XL Injection can be administered intravenously or intramuscularly. The typical dose is 1 ampoule (0.5 mg of Neurofix-XL Injection) given three times a week for the first two months. After this period, 1 ampoule (0.5 mg of Neurofix-XL Injection) is typically given every one to three months as part of maintenance therapy.
What precautions need to be taken while administering Neurofix-XL Injection?
When administering Neurofix-XL Injection, it is essential to avoid injecting at the same site every time. If intense pain occurs during injection or if blood flows back into the syringe, remove the needle and re-insert it at a different site.
